lyrics

Loss

She wants a garden Yeti to put in their front yard
Memories sold, as seen on TV
What would the neighbors say? Oh I don’t give a damn
He would have liked it there
I knew him once, just like the back of my hand
(He had such strong hands)

She puts the paper away and rises to brush her teeth
She mopped the floor last night again
Why don’t you give it a rest and let this damned house be
There’s nothing out of place
When she found him, that cold morning
She fell to her knees
(He was lookin’ for peace)

She folds the laundry now, clean shirts fall in a pile
She can’t feel anything at all
This routine emptiness is tearing me apart
If he were here right now
I’d hold him, then I’d slap him
For breaking our hearts


TRADUCCION INGLES-ESPANOL

Loss / Pérdida

Ella quiere una estatua del Yeti para poner en el antejardín
Recuerdos vendidos, anunciado en TV
¿Qué dirían los vecinos? Ay, eso a mí no me importa
Allí le hubiera gustado,
Le conocí, una vez, como la palma de mi mano
(Tan fuertes eran sus manos…)

Ella guarda el periódico y se levanta a cepillarse los dientes
Anoche trapeó el suelo, otra vez
Anda ya, déjalo, que esté en paz esta maldita casa
No hay nada fuera de lugar
Al encontrarle, esa madrugada fría,
Se cayó de rodillas
(El buscaba la paz…)

Ella dobla la ropa, se caen camisas limpias en un montón
No se puede sentir absolutamente nada
Este vacío cotidiano se me está desmoronando
Si estuviera él a mi lado,
Le abrazaría, y luego le cachetearía
Por habernos partido el alma
